That night.
Outside Chang 'an City.
Several groups of people quietly went to different places.
Among them were Cheng Yaojin and Niu Jinda.
He led 8,000 Left Military Guards.
They headed straight for the north to ambush them.
This was the result that Li Jing, Li Shi Min, and the others had come to an agreement after an entire day.
Jie Li is suspicious.
He was very suspicious.
It was a fact that Chang 'an Fortress lacked troops.
The only way to defeat the Turks was to stall for time.
They were waiting for the reinforcements to arrive.
Although the hope was slim, it was still better than no hope.
The other groups were led by Yuchi Gong, Qin Qiong, Zhang Gongjin, and Hou Junji.
They did not bring many people with them.
There were only one to two thousand people.
Even Qin Qiong and Yuchi Gong's group only had around three thousand people.
Their goal was to create the appearance that reinforcements were coming.
Frighten Jie Li.
They headed north.
It was late at night when Li Shimin and Niu Jinda came to a deep mountain and stopped.
He let the 8,000 Left Guards rest here.
He stood there and looked into the distance.
Outside Chang 'an City, the lights were shining.
That was the military camp where Li Jing was stationed.
Old Cheng frowned and shook his head with a sigh.""Sigh!"
"If that kid Lin Qiu was here, why would we be afraid of this old bastard Jie Li?”
"Lin Qiu?"
"Could it be the person you've been talking about every day since you came back from the northern border?”Niu Jinda turned around and said.
Old Cheng nodded.
"That's right, it's this person. You didn't see him!”
"That kid is skilled in martial arts and is quick-witted. He is not afraid of the barbarians at all. He is not like Lin Heng in the past but far superior to him!”
"If he comes to Chang 'an, what's there to be afraid of?”
Hearing this.
Niu Jinda frowned and nodded.
"Although I've never met this Lin Qiu before, I have some friendship with his father!”
"Unfortunately, Elder Lin passed away early and hasn't been able to pay his respects to his memorial tablet until now!”
"However, what I'm really worried about is not whether Lin Qiu will come to Chang 'an, but whether Youzhou is still there!”
"The barbarians have been attacking all the way south, but they have not encountered any decent obstruction along the way!”
"I'm afraid that Youzhou City is also…"
What he was worried about was not fake at all.
Youzhou City was the first to bear the brunt of Mobei.
According to the logic of commoners, the barbarians would attack Youzhou City first.
How could Lin Qiu escape this calamity?
Moreover, the Jie Li army was about to arrive at Chang 'an City!
It also indicated that Youzhou City might have already ceased to exist!
"Pah!"
"Old Bull, don't talk like a dog. You can't spit out ivory!”
"How could Youzhou City be conquered by those barbarians? Hmph, I don't believe it!" Cheng Yaojin cursed.
"You don't believe me?"
"Old Cheng, I know you don't want to see Lin Qiu get into trouble!”
"But tell me, if these barbarians haven't conquered Youzhou City, where did they come from?”Niu Jinda asked.
Thud.
Old Cheng's heart skipped a beat.
In fact, how could he not have thought about it and worried about it these past few days?
He even wanted to ride a horse straight to Youzhou City to take a look.
It was because he was really worried.
However, he knew very well in his heart.
Li Shi Min had just ascended the throne and his foundation was unstable.
If even he left, someone would definitely come out to cause trouble.
Moreover, the barbarians were heading south.
Seeing that the army was about to arrive at Chang 'an, how could he give up?
At this moment, he did not speak.
He looked at the starry night sky.
After a long time, he said softly,"Lin brat will be fine, I believe in him."
"Sigh!"
The old bull sighed and shook his head. He did not say anything.
Old Cheng cherishes talents.
However, what he had shown now was far from being as simple as cherishing talents.
Perhaps in his heart, he had already treated Lin Qiu like his own nephew.
...
At this moment.
Under the starlight.
There was also a group of people heading straight for them.
They were Lin Xi 'er, Zuo Tangshan, and the few hundred Tang soldiers beside them.
On the way, they traveled at full speed.
They were heading towards Chang 'an Fortress.
During this period, they also encountered a few groups of barbarians.
Fortunately, Lin Xi 'er was there to kill and defeat them one by one.
Otherwise, Zuo Tangshan and the others would probably not be able to come here at all.
"General Lin, we will reach Chang 'an after we cross this mountain!”Zuo Tangshan rode on his horse.
He pointed at the mountain not far away and said with a smile.
Hearing this.
Lin Xi 'er's eyes lit up.
Can we reach Chang 'an after crossing the mountain ahead?
She smiled and nodded." Alright, Left General. Tell the soldiers to work harder. We'll try to cross the mountain tonight!"”
"Yes, sir!"
Zuo Tangshan hurriedly bowed.
Even though Lin Xi 'er had already told him many times.
He was not a general.
However…
On Zuotang Mountain, he still needed his 200 soldiers to say this.
Lin Xi 'er was a well-deserved heroine.
Without her, they wouldn't have been able to come here.
There was no way to bring the relics of the soldiers to Chang 'an.
In their hearts.
He was also extremely grateful to Lin Xi 'er.
Hence, he decided to do it.
The group of hundreds of people increased their speed once again.
He quickly ran towards the mountain in front of him.
Just as the sky gradually brightened.
They walked for an entire night before they finally reached the top of the mountain.
Suddenly.
A group of soldiers blocked their path.
"Hmm?"
"Who are you?"
These soldiers were all wearing red military uniforms and armor.
Killing intent flashed in their eyes.
Lin Xi 'er was slightly stunned.
Zuo Tangshan quickly cupped his fists and said," Brother, we're all from Ningzhou Province. We're going to Chang 'an. What are you doing?"
"People from Ningzhou?"
The soldiers 'expressions changed slightly and they looked at each other.
He then sized up Zuo Tangshan, Lin Xi 'er, and the others.
Until now.
A voice came from the other end.
"Who is it? Why did he have to take this mountain road instead of the official road?”
"Hmph, could it be that you are all barbarians in disguise?"
"Uncle Cheng?"
Just as that person finished speaking.
Lin Xi 'er was overjoyed.
Hearing this, the person had already walked out in a flash.
He looked at Lin Xi 'er and smiled.
"Hahaha, I was wondering who it was. I didn't expect it to be you, girl.”Cheng Yaojin said.

Kneel!!
